The thing that is bothering me today is the sexualization of females. It is disheartening, disturbing, and disgusting to me. I look at female musicians and a large majority of them choose to post images of themselves scantily-clad, in provocative and suggestive poses, with “come hither” looks on their faces. It’s so frustrating. I understand […]

Today I am wondering: when I feel the varied emotions which can be collectively called “Love”, what am I feeling? According to the Ancient Greeks, there were four main types of love: Agape – unconditional and selfless love, does not require reciprocation. Eros – passionate love, as for one’s mate, requires reciprocation. Philia – companionate […]

Desiderata is a poem written in 1927 by Max Ehrmann. It inspires me each time I read it. The name means “Desired Things”. And, in this time of materialism and superficiality, we have forgotten those things which are most important. This poem says all the things I have believed to be true since a very […]

I feel the tide of time changing. If you have ever felt this, you know what I mean: it is the feeling that the course of your life is about to change in some profound and inescapable way. For me, there is also the feeling of new alternate realities being created at that moment when I make […]

Lately, I’ve been working on being aware of the moment I’m in. What I mean is that when I catch myself fixating on past mistakes or fantastical futures, I make a conscious effort to pull myself back to the present. It is surprisingly difficult to do so. A lot of the time, I don’t even […]

I recently encountered a woman by the name of “Woodwytch”. She is an interesting woman, with many intriguing talents and a propensity for those things which are usually found in the realm of metaphysics. She happened to be offering tarot readings. I asked her to draw a card for me. She pulled Justice: This is […]

One of the most frustrating phrases I have ever heard people repeat is “Everything happens for a reason!”. OK, I get it, this is the easiest way to come to terms with past mistakes, hurt from others, uncontrollable situations and so on. But, what does it actually mean? What is the reason? Some would say […]

People are always talking about how they want change in the world. The problem is that relatively few people actually take the steps to affect the change they want to see. Everyone is waiting for somebody else to do it. There are no politicians who will demand all the changes on your agenda. There are no spiritual […]

Today started out well – I woke up on time, the weather outside is exactly how I like it, I am not feeling ill, and I felt content. I worked out, pushed myself and beat my previous record on the treadmill. I smiled and greeted many people, who smiled and greeted me back. I headed […]

My parents don’t look like one another. In fact, they look pretty much opposite from one another, in all respects. I don’t really look like either of them, though I’ve been told that I look similar to one of my grandmothers when she was young. I don’t really care either way, I’m just me. I […]
